OGC Nice predicted XI v Lorient: Yehvann Diouf to return in goal | OneFootball

Yehvann Diouf has not played in Ligue 1 since making his return from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), however, he is expected to replace Maxime Dupé between the sticks when OGC Nice travel to face FC Lorient in the Coupe de France quarter-finals on Wednesday night.

Dupé has surpassed Diouf in the hierarchy at the Allianz Riviera, but Diouf will have the chance to stake a claim on Wednesday night. Nice manager Claude Puel will have to contend with many absentees against Les Merlus. Sofiane Diop is suspended, whilst the likes of Moise Bombito, Isak Jansson, Elye Wahi, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Youssouf Ndaysihimiye, and Hicham Boudaoui are all out either due to injury or fitness concerns. It means that Kevin Carlos is likely to lead the line once again.
